If I could have a lifetime wish,And dreams that could come true,I would pray
to God, with all my heart,For yesterday and you.A thousand prayers can't bring you back,I know because I've tried,And
neither will a million tears,I know because I've cried.You left behind my broken heart,And happy memories too,But
I never wanted memories,I only wanted you.

Ten Commandments for
a Responsible Pet Owner - as dictated by the pet.

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from
you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in
me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You
have your work, your friends, your entertainments but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand
your words I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me I will never
forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I have teeth that could easily crush the
bones in your hand and yet I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative ask
yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long
or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.

10.
On the difficult journey, on the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't
make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there because I love you so.
